City of Fulton boil-water advisory extended through today (Wednesday)

The City of Fulton issued a boil water advisory Saturday after bacteria was found in the city’s water supply. The advisory was extended at least through Wednesday.

The low level of bacteria was found in the Sixth Ward during the regularly scheduled flushing of the hydrants.

Under the advisory, residents on the city’s water system are advised not to drink water from the tap. Any tap water used for cooking, drinking, washing dishes, brushing teeth, or making ice should first be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before it is used.
